Crafted from warm, pure copper plates, this large and impactful brooch features a unique pattern created by cutting and joining the plates together. The graceful silhouettes of the shapes are inspired by the characters of the Japanese language. Specifically, “Iroha Uta", the Japanese old verse that inspired the design, with the negative spaces of each character extracted and reassembled into new and beautiful forms. This approach offers a fresh perspective on the freedom and diversity found in the silhouettes of the hiragana characters. The brooch also boasts a humorous touch with multiple pins on the back, making it not just an accessory, but also a piece of art that can be enjoyed simply by looking at it.
